Applying to the AIFTT
The Amsterdam International Feldenkrais® Teacher Training (AIFTT) is a professional training program designed to prepare participants to become Feldenkrais practitioners.
We desire a well-balanced trainee body, one that represents the full range of human experience. The only prerequisites are that the applicant has prior Feldenkrais experience (individual lessons, group classes, or, preferably, both) and that he or she participates in an introductory workshop.
Applicants are asked to submit a completed application which includes:
• Work history
• Educational background (academic & professional)
• Prior experience with Feldenkrais lessons
• Description of hobbies and interests
• Health status
• Two letters of recommendation, including one from a Feldenkrais practitioner
Please read the program prospectus before filling out the application.
You may request these documents by e-mail from the Mind in Motion office.
Given our interest in having a diverse group of trainees, applicants will be selected from a wide variety of backgrounds. We screen applicants according to our evaluation of their interest in the Feldenkrais Method® as a profession. We will also evaluate the contributions they can potentially make to the practice and development of the Feldenkrais method. We are committed to accepting people into the AIFTT regardless of race, gender, religion, physical limitation, age, or sexual orientation.
After submitting an application to the AIFTT, you can expect to receive a response within two to three weeks. If accepted into the program, you will receive orientation information along with a trainee enrollment agreement. The agreement is the contract that specifies your rights and responsibilities as a participant in the program. You will be asked to sign the contract and return it, along with your Tuition Down Payment to reserve your place in the training, within thirty days of notification.
To apply, please complete and submit the application form, along with your two letters of recommendation and the €75,00 Application Fee.
The entire application fee will be counted toward your tuition deposit if you are accepted into the program. The application fee is non-refundable if your application is not accepted or if you are accepted into the program but then choose not to attend.
We review applications on an as-received basis.
Late Start Program
Applications for late start acceptance into the program are welcome through the end of the first training year. Please contact the Mind in Motion office prior to beginning the application procedure. Besides completing an application and submitting letters of recommendation, late start applicants are required to interview with the Educational Director, Larry Goldfarb.
